you're right, I'm planning to buy H100i or ID-Cooling Frostflow 240L or do you have sugestion?maybe.. but I think you might need to upgrade the fan, because phenom 955 was prob using less W compared to this 14core beast.
thats cool, what is your cooler?my 5820k idles at ~35-40c and my 5820k supposedly has a 20w higher TDP than you chip at 140w.
I also have it OC'd to 4.5GHz.
i will try, thanks.Also make sure to use very thin layer of paste, I replaced my paste recently and temps dropped 10-15c on load, so it could matter.
since it is ES version, I agree there must be something wrong maybe I should buy "final" version.If you are idling at 60C, then something must be wrong.
I doubt the chip is bad.. More like your heatsink/fan isn't proper.
